I'm not even convinced that spreading our limited resources to maintain
1.6 vs 2.0 is a great idea... 1.4, 1.6 *and* 2.0 is definitely the road
to hell.

Even with several more developers on libtool than m4, maintaining 3  
branches
made a huge impact on our productivity and release schedule.

Cheers,
        Gary
